Gutsy By Nature
What can I eat for breakfast on AIP? It is one of the most common questions people who are new to the paleo autoimmune protocol (AIP) ask. When you take grains, dairy, and eggs out of rotation, it can seem like there is nothing left to eat for the first meal of the day. No […]
Three simple words: ditch the wheat. After battling health issues for many years, in 2010 a doctor suggested to Carol Lovett that she try doing that and it changed her life forever. She created a popular blog using that phrase as its name, and this week is releasing a beautiful new cookbook called Ditch the […]
The Greeks knew what they were doing when they created the yogurt-based tzatziki sauce to accompany gyros and souvlaki. Without it, you’ve just got grilled meat. With it, you have something divine! Now I even have a recipe for a dairy-free version that happens to also be compliant with the paleo autoimmune protocol (AIP) and I’m so […]
While I appreciate a fancy steak as much as the next person, if given the choice I will pick a simple chuck roast any day, especially since I discovered how incredibly flavorful and tender the humble cut can be when braised with flavorful herbs.

Chicken pot pie is the quintessential American comfort food, but a version that is compatible with the requirements of the autoimmune paleo protocol (AIP) but still had a creamy filling and delicate biscuit topping seemed like an impossible feat. That’s why when I had my first taste test bite of this new recipe, I did a […]
What’s not to love about the humble cube steak? This recipe for braised cube steak with a gluten-free gravy proves my point. The versatile beef cut is also known as “minute steak” because of how quickly it can be cooked, but it really shines when you use a low and slow technique like braising. When it comes to […]
In addition to being the month of all-things-pumpkin, October is Fair Trade Month, so I combined the two and created this recipe for paleo pumpkin spice cupcakes with two kinds of frosting to celebrate! These moist and delicious cupcakes are gluten free, grain free, dairy free, and nut free and they feature three different types […]
Since “going paleo” a few years ago, I have been introduced to a number of new-to-me foods that I now love, and high atop that list are yuca fries!
